Hey, I am a guitar player recently turned bass player. I just got an Orange AD200 and have an Ampeg svt 8X10 cab. I was wondering what output I should use on the head. there are two 4ohms and an 8. Thanks in advance.

Assuming you are plugging into all 8 of the 10's in the cab either of the 4 ohm jacks on the head will work.
If you use only the top half or the bottom half of the 8x10 you would use the 8ohm jack on the head.

so i would use both of the 4ohms outputs into the two inputs on the cab to use all 8 speakers? running two seperate speaker cables?
Don't know the cab so I can be wrong but that idea does set off a lot of alarm bells in my head...
Use the single 8 ohm output for one single 8 ohm cabinet.
For 2 8 ohm cabinets, use the two 4 ohm outputs on the amp, (as this equals 4 ohms).
For the Ampeg single 4 ohm cabinet, plug one 4 ohm output into the single 4 ohm input of the cabinet.
For 2 8 ohm cabinets, use the two 4 ohm outputs on the amp, (as this equals 4 ohms).
For the Ampeg single 4 ohm cabinet, plug one 4 ohm output into the single 4 ohm input of the cabinet.
my cab has 3 inputs though there is a 4 and then two 8 inputs. the 4 is on top then the two are side by side. so should i run 4 to 4.?
